With over 20+ stores across India and a rapidly expanding D2C presence, we bring design, quality, and innovation together through jewellery that's made to be lived in. We're now looking for a Rendering Artist Manager to lead our visual design team in creating photo-realistic jewellery renders that elevate the Palmonas brand experience across catalogues, e-commerce, and social media.

This role blends creative direction with technical precision — ensuring our digital jewellery assets reflect the brand's craftsmanship and luxury aesthetic.

• Manage, mentor, and guide the rendering team (artists, retouchers, and visualizers) to deliver consistent, high-quality outputs.
• Rendering & Visualization :
• Create realistic renders of jewellery (rings, necklaces, earrings, bangles, bracelets) with accurate representation of metals, stones, textures, and finishes.
• Material & Light Simulation :
• Ensure precise material simulation for gold, silver, platinum, LGD, and gemstones; optimize lighting, reflections, and shadows for visual depth.
• Process Optimization :
• Build a robust rendering pipeline — from CAD to final output — reducing turnaround time while improving quality and consistency.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration :
• Work closely with the design, CAD, marketing, and photography teams to ensure rendered visuals meet campaign and e-commerce needs.
• Quality Control :
• Review all outputs for realism, proportion accuracy, and brand alignment before publishing.
